“…Consistent with the results from the previous studies (Lin et al, 2021), age was positively correlated with compliance. Women were also more likely to report compliance than men, in line with Previous research (e.g., Carreras et al, 2022;Gallaso's et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2021) argument that women are more likely to perceive the pandemic as serious and therefore they comply with the proposed measures more. Paramita et al (2021) some explanation to the results, arguing that those with more egalitarian views on gender roles were more likely to comply with the COVID-19 preventive measures.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided the opportunity to investigate factors associated to compliance with public health measures. We analysed cross-country data (k = 121, N = 15,740) collected one year into the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate factors related to compliance with COVID-19 guidelines, including social norms, trust, stress, demographic factors, and moral values. We also explored cross-country differences in individuals’ stress, trust in government and science, compliance behaviours, social norms, and vaccine hesitancy. We found that social norms to follow preventive measures were positively correlated with compliance. Compliance was also predicted by trust in government and science, stress, demographic factors, and concern about the moral value of harm and care. Finally, we discuss country-level differences in the associations between predictors and compliance. Overall, results indicate that trust and social norms are critical to the development of programs and policies aimed at increasing compliance with public health measures.

“…In line with attachment theory, there is an idea that mothers are responsible for the psychic lives of their children, perhaps more so than fathers or other caregivers, and they can experience maternal guilt and shame when they are not prioritizing the needs of their children (Collins, 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that the disparities associated with traditional gender roles remain quite present (Carreras, Vera, & Visconti, 2022). Women in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., for instance, reported that they were expected to reduce or stop working while children were at home to support their kids' online learning and provide child care.…”

We predicted that having children at home would reduce risky behavior for women and men, but more so for women than men. More than 450 American adults of different genders, ages and ethnicities were recruited from Prolific. Participants completed a questionnaire to measure engagement in various forms of risky behavior throughout their lifetime, including illegal and risky sexual behavior. Differences in illegal behavior, risky sexual behavior, and other types of risky behavior were found between men and women, F(3, 441) = 9.09, p < .0001, partial  2 = .06, with men reporting more risky behavior of all types. ANCOVAs were used to assess the relationships between gender identity further and having children and total risky behavior and illegal behavior; age was covaried. Significant interactions between IVs revealed that male participants with children at home engaged in significantly more risky sexual behavior, F(1, 441) = 4.24, p = .04, overall risky behavior, F(1, 441) = 3.89, p = .049, and illegal behavior, F(1, 441) = 3.59, p = .059, than those without children at home. For women, there was no relationship between having children at home and risky behavior, illegal behavior, or risky sexual behavior.

Purpose Suffering during events such as the COVID-19 pandemic threatens university students’ physical and psychological health. Given the literature indicating the protective role of resilience and social support, the current study explored the mediating and moderating roles of social support in the association between resilience and prosocial behavior among university students in mainland China during COVID-19 mitigation. Methods We conducted an online survey using convenience sampling from 23rd February to 3rd March 2020 among Chinese university students who had encountered home-quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Self-report scales were used to measure levels of resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale), social support (the Social Support Scale), and prosocial behavior (Prosocial Tendencies Measure). A total of 313 university students participated in this online survey. Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to test the hypothesized mediating and moderating effects of social support in the relationship between resilience and prosocial behavior. Results Pearson’s correlations analysis showed that all outcomes of interest were positively associated. Importantly, social support (subjective support, objective support, and support utilization) mediated the indirect link of resilience with prosocial behavior. Furthermore, moderation analyses indicated that support utilization played a moderating role in this link. Support utilization may reduce the negative influence of COVID-19 on university students’ prosocial behavior and serve as a protective factor between resilience and prosocial behavior in highly stressful contexts. Conclusion Our findings enrich research on prosocial behavior by investigating the potential internal and external variables that influence such behavior during periods of suffering. Findings also provide evidence for the need to promote university students’ prosocial behavior.
